Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier wins $475,000 in PokerStars.net NAPT Mohegan Sun $25,000 High Roller Bounty Shootout
Donning the exact same shirt he wore two Aprils ago when he won the 2008 EPT San Remo Main Event and armed with a little help from one of his favorite hands, Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier won the 2010 PokerStars.net NAPT Mohegan Sun $25,000 High Roller Bounty Shootout.
Mercier battled heads-up opponent Sam Stein for the better part of three and a half hours before the most pivotal hand of the tournament took place.
Mercier moved all-in over the top of a three-bet from Stein holding pocket threes and Stein looked him up with the ace-jack of diamonds. When the money went in, Stein had Mercier covered by just 13,000 in chips.
Stein spiked a jack on the flop to take the lead, but the turn and river gave Mercier a runner-runner six-high straight to win the pot. Stein was eliminated from the tournament two hands later.
“Pocket threes were really lucky for me when I was seventeen or eighteen and that’s why I made my (online) name “treysfull,” but I haven’t really won any enormous pots with threes until that one,” Mercier said. His former online screen name was “treysfull21.”
The win marks Mercier’s 2nd High Roller title in as many years. The 23-year-old pro from Davie, Florida also won the 2008 EPT London High Roller Event (£516,000) and came close to winning a 3rd High Roller title back in February at the L.A. Poker Classic (3rd – $141,780).
Runner-up Sam Stein has had a successful year thus far in his own right. Stein finished runner-up to Tom Marchese at the NAPT Venetian Main Event ($522,306) and posted another 2nd place finish in a $5,000 preliminary event at the PCA in January (168,390). Stein earned $75,000 in prize money at the NAPT Mohegan Sun HRBSO; $60,000 for winning his round one table and $15,000 in bounties.
PokerStars.net-sponsored player Faraz Jaka finished third, collecting $80,000 in prize money for his efforts; $60,000 for winning his round one table, and $20,000 for accumulating four knockout bounties. Jaka is the only player to have final tabled both $25,000 HRBSO events. Jaka placed 5th at the NAPT Venetian HRBSO back in February ($95,000).
FINAL TABLE PAYOUTS:
1st: Jason Mercier, Team PokerStars USA – $475,000 ($350,000 final table, $60,000 round one table, $40,000 bounties, $25,000 entry to next HRBSO)
2nd: Sam Stein, USA – $75,000 ($60,000 table; $15,000 bounties)
3rd: Faraz Jaka – $80,000 ($60,000 table; $20,000 bounties)
4th: Matt Glantz, USA – $70,000 ($60,000 table; $10,000 bounties)
5th: Shawn Buchanan, Canada – $80,000 ($60,000 table; $20,000 bounties)
6th: Luis Vazquez, USA – $70,000 ($50,000 table; $20,000 bounties)
** Each bounty = $5,000
The NAPT Mohegan Sun HRBSO attracted 35 players including Team PokerStars Pros Justin Mercier, Daniel Negreanu, Greg Raymer, Barry Greenstein, Greg DeBora, Marcello Del Grosso, Pat Pezzin and Anh Van Nguyen.

New Haven product Vanessa Selbst is crowned 2010 PokerStars.net NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event Champion with a $750,000 payday
In professional sports, few things are sweeter than winning the biggest game of your career on home turf. New Haven, Connecticut native Vanessa Selbst now knows the feeling.
A 50-minute drive on I-95 will take you from New Haven to Uncasville, Connecticut, home of Mohegan Sun; the second largest casino in the United States and host of the 1st annual PokerStars.net NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event. The five-day, $5,000 buy-in championship Main Event attracted 716 runners from more than 20 countries, smashing records for both attendance and total prize pool ($3,264,244) for a poker tournament at Mohegan Sun.
At the end of Day 1, Selbst finished second in chips, behind then leader David Williams. From there, she never dropped lower than third in chips at any point in the tournament and put on a clinic in deep-stack poker at the final table, en route to earning the largest payday of her career.
“It feels awesome (winning close to home). The most meaningful part of this for me was definitely having a lot of my friends that don’t play poker and a lot of my friends from law school see this, and my girlfriend was able to come,” Selbst said. “It was just really great to have everybody here and to see this. This is the hugest moment that I’ve had in poker so far, so it was really nice to have everybody so close.”
The 25-year-old is working toward a law degree in civil rights at her undergraduate alma mater, Yale University, and despite being $750,000 richer, Selbst said she has every intention of finishing school. When asked where this accomplishment ranks amongst her poker accolades, Selbst replied “This is at the top. I mean, I know that a bracelet is supposed to be prestigious, but let’s be honest… That was $230 grand, and this is $750 grand, so… You can’t argue with the dollar signs.”
A wealth of PokerStars.net Players reached the final table including Main Event runner-up Michael Beasley ($428,000), Scott Seiver (4th, $190,000), Derek Raymond (6th, $115,000), Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy ($85,000) and Jonathan “FatalError” Aguiar (8th, $60,244).
Four new members of Team PokerStars Canada made their debuts at the NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event. Greg Debora, Marcello Del Grosso, Pat Pezzin and Anh Van Nguyen joined Daniel Negreanu and Darus Suharto to form a new-look Canadian team, expected to compete at future NAPT stops. Del Grosso had the most profitable debut of the new Team Pros, cashing in 89th place, good for a $7,500 payday.
Team PokerStars USA members Vanessa Rousso and Dennis Phillips also cashed in the main event; Rousso in 10th place ($47,000) and Phillips in 86th place ($8,500). Rousso’s performance was especially noteworthy, as she managed to best her 25th place finish at NAPT Venetian ($18,080) back in February.
FINAL TABLE PAYOUTS:
1st: Vanessa Selbst (USA) – $750,000
2nd: Michael Beasley, PokerStars.net Player (USA) – $428,000
3rd: Michael Woods (USA) – $240,000
4th: Scott Seiver, PokerStars.net Player (USA) – $190,000
5th: Alistar “Al” Melville (Canada) – $150,000
6th: Derek Raymond, PokerStars.net Player (USA) – $115,000
7th: Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy, PokerStars.net Player (USA) – $85,000
8th: Jonathan “FatalError” Aguiar, PokerStars.net Player (USA) – $60,244
The NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event final table was streamed on a five-minute delay over the Internet via NAPT Live at www.napt.com/tv.
The 2010 NAPT Mohegan Sun tournament series concludes on Tuesday with the final table of the $25,000 buy-in High Roller Bounty Shootout, which starts at 12:00pm EST on Monday, April 12th. Team PokerStars Pros Daniel Negreanu, Greg Raymer, Barry Greenstein and Jason Mercier are all expected to play.
Both the NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event and the $25,000 High Roller Bounty Shootout will be broadcast on ESPN2; dates airing TBD. The next stop on the PokerStars.net North American Poker Tour will be announced soon.

PokerStars.NET AND MOHEGAN SUN GEAR UP FOR NORTH AMERICAN POKER TOUR $25K HIGH ROLLER BOUNTY SHOOTOUT EVENTNAPT Mohegan Sun High Roller event taking place April 12th and 13th.
All eyes will be on Connecticut in April when Mohegan Sun in Uncasville plays host to the third stop of the PokerStars.net North American Poker Tour.
The sixteen-day poker festival will feature some of the best players in the world competing in top-notch events including a $25,600 two-day High Roller Bounty Shootout. Not only will players gain a $5,000 bounty every time they knock out an opponent, but PokerStars.net is adding a seat into the next High Roller Bounty Shootout for the player who collects the most bounties – a prize worth almost $30,000, including accommodations.
The High Roller tournament combines both bounty and shootout formats. Round one on April 12th involves nine tables of nine players, with the first place finisher from each table competing in the winner-takes-all final on April 13th. All the finalists will get $50,000. The remainder (less all the bounties) goes to the overall winner.
Team PokerStars.net Pro Daniel Negreanu said, “I had the opportunity to play in the first High Roller Bounty Shootout at NAPT Venetian in February and I have to say it’s an incredibly exciting format. I am really looking forward to the chance to play again at NAPT Mohegan Sun – and reach the final this time! It’s going to be a great event.”
To give many players an opportunity to play in the High Roller Bounty Shootout event, Mohegan Sun has scheduled a special $5,250 Super-Satellite qualifying tournament at noon on Sunday, April 11th. PokerStars.net is guaranteeing ten (10) $25,600 entries as prizes in this Super-Satellite, with $51,200 (2 entries) added to the prize pool. At least one in-five entrants are guaranteed to win their way through to the High Roller Bounty Shootout event through this Super-Satellite.
The North American Poker Tour is an inaugural event to Mohegan Sun with 37 poker events over 16 days. The tournament will feature the $5,000 buy-in Main Event as well as the $25,600 buy-in Bounty Shootout event, both of which will be produced for a total of four hours for future broadcast on ESPN2 and be hosted by Joanna Krupa of Dancing with the Stars. The Main Event takes place April 7th – 11th and more than 600 players are expected to participate.
Other events include a $300.00 “Ladies only” tournament, a $1,100 buy-in tournament with a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool, as well as other events at a wide assortment of buy-in levels. Among the top players heading to Connecticut are Team PokerStars.net Pros Daniel Negreanu, world champion Joe Cada, Vanessa Rousso and Chad Brown.
The first NAPT was the PokerStars.net Caribbean Adventure in January which was won by Harrison Gimbel from Florida for $2.2 million. Tom Marchese from New Jersey took down the NAPT Venetian Main Event in February for $827,648 and the NAPT Venetian High Roller Bounty Shootout was won by Ashton Griffin from Florida.
